Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has rejected assertions that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in disarray.
While acknowledging that the party is experiencing internal discord, Saraki expressed confidence that the PDP would resolve its issues and thrive.
The former governor of Kwara State spoke in Ilorin, the state capital, on Friday during the PDP Youth Summit organized by the state chapter to celebrate his 63rd birthday.
Saraki stated: “Many people claim our party is in disarray. I disagree. Sometimes, it is more beneficial to disagree than to conform and stagnate. I believe the PDP will succeed.”
He emphasized that disagreements within the party are not uncommon, mentioning that the disgruntled factions of the PDP are engaging with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to address their concerns.
“As I speak, the two factions of the PDP are meeting with INEC. I want to assure members that our differences will be resolved very soon,” he remarked.
The PDP is currently divided among factions led by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike; Governor Seyi Makinde; and Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State.
Wike's faction has appointed Abdulrahman Mohammed as the acting National Chairman, while Makinde's faction has Tanimu Turaki serving in the same role.
The party fractured into factions following the conclusion of the tenure of former acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum.
